Reinvigorating Chitwan’s Tourism

It needs no reiteration that tourism is one of the main sources of foreign exchange earnings and job creation for many poor and developing nations. Despite being a susceptible sector, tourism is considered as the world’s fastest-growing industry. With its unequaled tourism resources ranging from topographical diversity coupled with climatic multiplicity to cultural richness, Nepal has immense prospects for tourism promotion. This sector can be an important means of economic development. Successive governments seem to have given high priority to this multidimensional sector. The nation has spent much on creating tourism-related infrastructures such as roads and airports while the private sector has invested a lot in tourism businesses. However, the country still has a long way to go when it comes to capitalising on its abundant tourism resources.
